Lyrics Grown - Roo

They speak of my accomplishments
Only when my flaws come along
They speak of my flaws
And mumble my accomplishments
Raised without a daddy
And I still turned out astonishing
Part black mostly white
Thanks to slave abolishment
Seeing mama struggle
Man it gave me so much confidence
Mama listened to me rap
And always gave me compliments
She said when you get older boy
You hold onto your dominance
Keep chasing them dreams baby
I know that you'll accomplish them
I hope you know that you're the best
Them other kids are opposite
I knew you was a legend
When you was born in 96
Never let go of God
Or you'll regret the consequence
Life was so dull
That's why I'm working hard to polish it
Ima rule the Continent
Better than Obama did
I do this for a purpose
A lot others incompetent
Ima stay writing man
Something like a novelist
Eating other rappers
Like they was some antioxidants
I grew up in a broken home
Momma broke some promises
Papa was a Baptist preacher
I had to grow up Protestant
Speaking wisdom to the mic
And tryna seek some prominence
Moved away at 15
Tired of all the arguments
And living life all on my own
Was harder than any punishment
So I kept on running
Kinda like my father did
And when I turned 16
He got locked up in the pen
Time and time and time again
Footsteps I wont follow in
Coming up all by myself
And cutting out the middle men
I ain't dumbing down to idiots
Them and their opinions
Got no time for ignorance
Hatefulness and bitterness
I thought about selling drugs
Yeah I had considered it
Be the best of my ability
Never come out counterfeit
I grew up fighting man
Little and belligerent
But I gotta keep my cool
Like I'm on refrigerant
Never said I grew up good
I grew up too indifferent
Now I'm by my lonesome mama
But look at me I'm killin it
Look at me on my own
Nowhere close to grown
Hard headed as a rock
Heart strong as muscle tone
Always try to speak what's on my mind
And never undertone
Speaking facts about my life
All into this microphone
I just wanna set some records
Break a couple milestones
I'm sitting in the backseat
Good Lord as my chaperone
Playing life by the rules
And rapping is my saxophone
And if you really with me
Take my hand and you can tag along

Let it ride
Feel like I'm grown
Feel like I'm grown
Yeah
Feel like I'm grown now
I done spilled out my soul now
Give it my all now
I aint ever gonna let down
I aint ever gonna let down
I aint ever gonna back down
That's the moral to the story
You know
